I don't know anything about AMP, so I'm genuinely amazed that one could create bugs in it that just downright break hyper references.
I though links was a pretty important part of HTML, and so people took care to ensure they work?
- piecu 7y agoNot for google. They want to kill links.
- b3kart 7y agoWhich would be ironic, given their whole business has been built on following links and keeping track of what links to what.
- jakeogh 7y agoMore accurately, they want to keep you in their garden. Not knowing it's happening would be advantageous for the goog.
- Moxdi 7y agoWait what? What did I miss?

- ehnto 7y agoWhat do they intend to replace them with?
- splatcollision 7y agoJavascript!
- ehnto 7y agoIt's the year 2067, all websites are now npm packages. If you want to view a website, you must require it into your browser's package.json.

- sushikokk 7y agoBying ads from Google, only way to get traffic soon.
- cameronbrown 7y agoWouldn't that just be another type of link?
- ehnto 7y agoThat's why it's so strange. There isn't an alternative that isn't just a link with a different syntax, so why bother upending the internet for it? Things have worked pretty well for decades now, the whole point of writing a protocol is for long term usage in a changing world. So far so good!
- gatherhunterer 7y agoAs far as I know they have not proposed a replacement, only an intention to come up with one.

- tyingq 7y agoIt a bug that's breaking some JavaScript that renders the AMP page header. It's breaking a link Google is supposed to generate via their mandatory included js for AMP pages.
